No. Social interest groups gain their power through participation of people.

Agreed 110%. I don't care for a lot of the conservative Christian special interest groups, but if they've got the numbers, the drive, and the means to effect influence, more power to 'em. To combat any given special interest, all anyone has to do is develop contrary groups with similar resources and resolve.

Either way it's retarded. People in this country need to stand up for what they believe, not tear down those that believe differently.

I agree, though I'm not sure where you're getting that it's "what the libs run on." Generally, it is the liberals who are most often accused of pandering to special interests, though it has also become more commonplace for conservatives to do the same during Bush's big government tenure.
